Private Client Lawyer - Based on the West Sussex Coast, our clients company is a small business within a larger Financial Services Group offering will planning/preparation, IHT mitigation and trust, estate and power of attorney administration services.

A vacancy has now arisen within the team for an Estate and Trusts Executive. This is a client facing role where the ideal candidate will offer advice on Wills and produce Will documents for clients to review and sign. The company also provides advice on Powers of Attorney and their preparation.
